Can Technology Help Us Save Our Planet? What We Know Now and What We're Capable of

By: Ives, Imelda

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Can our love of technology help us save our planet? Our rapidly growing need for more and more energy has already caused substantial damage to our environment, drastically reduced natural habitats all over the world, and put at extreme risk many of the other creatures who share this planet with us. Unless we all decide to change our ways quickly and to a great degree (in ways much more substantial than swapping to compact-fluorescent light bulbs), the world and its wildlife as we know it will no longer be there for our grandchildren, let alone our children. Perhaps those children will never know how the environment used to be, but with our supposedly amazing human intelligence, can't we come up with some amazing solutions? Investigate our consumption habits and the growing number of alternative options, as they stand today. And decide for yourself what is possible.

Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
